New Delhi, Mar 14: Kagiso Rabada, who was suspended for two Tests on Tuesday, has regained his top spot among bowlers crossing the coveted 900-point mark in ratings.
He is the second youngest bowler to ever pass the 900-point threshold, behind Waqar Younis who was 22 years and 19 days old when he crossed the landmark. Rabada was 22 years, nine months and 15 days old when he reached the mark.
Rabada was found guilty of breaching Level 2 ICC Code of Conduct offence of 'inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with a player'.
The incident took place in second Test between South Africa and Australia when moving towards the slips, Rabada made contact with Steve Smith with his shoulder.
The South African pacer replaced James Anderson at the top of bowler's ranking and now is 15 points ahead of Anderson. At number three is Ravindra Jadeja followed by R Ashwin and Josh Hazlewood at number four and five respectively.
